Strickland insults New York ahead of Chimaev fight in Newark

Sean Strickland posted a controversial tweet ahead of his fight against Khamzat Chimaev in Newark, which is close to New York City. Instead of the typical promotional approach of complimenting the host city, Strickland harshly criticized New York and its residents. He called New York a perfect example of what it means to be a Democrat, describing children, adults, and leaders as pathetic. Strickland stated that New York and the majority of its residents are a disgrace to America, saying you are either a criminal or a rich person without a backbone. The fight will take place at the Prudential Center in Newark, approximately 35 minutes by car from Central Park.
